The CDP series consists of one, two,
three and four pole contactors rated
to 600V AC. Three pole devices range
up to 90A, while the one and two pole
models are rated to 40A. Four pole
contactors are also available ranging
from 25A to 40A.
make installation easy
CDP contactors are compact in size
and offer three convenient methods of
wire connection: quick connect termi-

standard on 40A and larger contactors.
Other models come standard with
combination quick connect terminals
and screws that accept hex, slotted or
phillips screwdrivers.
